Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Of course, whether the system can be implemented depends not only on Xinyuan County, but also on whether Nanshan Province will intervene.

Fang Jian added: "Let's call a few section chiefs to hold a meeting tomorrow to discuss the system and its implementation."

Seeing that Fang Jian had made his decision, Chen Guangwen stopped trying to persuade him.

"Guoxuan, a battalion and a company will arrive tonight. You must arrange them to the base." Fang Jian instructed Fang Guoxuan after calling him.

Fang Guoxuan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid the garrison may not be able to accommodate everyone. Why not let that company enter the city and leave the remaining battalion outside the city?"

"You are responsible for the arrangements regarding the garrison. By the way, the new company will be combined with yours to form the 1st Guard Battalion. You will be the battalion commander, and it will be composed of two companies temporarily." Fang Jian nodded.

"After arranging the stationing of the new troops, we will continue recruiting soldiers in Xinyuan County tomorrow. This time we can recruit in the rural areas."

After Fang Guoxuan went down, he called Fang Tianming over again. Fang Jian asked, "Tianming, how was the spoils last night?"

"We seized 80,000 silver dollars, 500 large yellow croakers and 3,000 small yellow croakers from the homes of Zhang Kaiyuan and Meng Liangji." Fang Tianming said excitedly.

Hearing this number, Fang Jian couldn't help but said in surprise: "Okay."

With this money, we can get the salary for recruiting soldiers and also exchange a batch of weapons from the system.

Then Fang Tianming said with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "But the county's finances are very bad, and there are only more than 10,000 silver dollars in the account."

"Check, Tianming, check the county's accounts in the next few days to see who else has embezzled and how much. We must make them pay up." Fang Jian'an said with a gloomy face.

Then he said, "Go to the Meng family later and ask them for 20,000 silver dollars, 50 large yellow croakers, and 100 small yellow croakers."

"Yes." Fang Tianming knew that this was an apology from the Meng family for attacking their base last night.

After finishing his chores, Fang Jian began to think about his future plans. Five hundred large yellow croakers could be exchanged for 15 points, which seemed like a lot, but they could only be exchanged for three five-star characters.

In the system, weapons are the cheapest, but the talents that Francis Xavier lacks the most are the most expensive.

Fang Jian silently recited in his mind: "System, exchange 550 large yellow croakers and 1,100 small yellow croakers for points."

"Ding, 19 large yellow croakers and 8 small yellow croakers can be exchanged for points. Points are being exchanged. The gold recovery team will arrive in one day. Do you want to trade?"

"Trade, and use the points to exchange for 98 Type 200k rifles, 10 Taisho XI-style rifles. 100 submachine guns, 10 rounds of bullets. 200 general-purpose machine guns, 10 rounds of bullets, 75 light machine guns, 2 rounds of bullets. 500 -caliber field guns, rounds of shells."

"Ding, 98 points for a Type 8k rifle, 6 points for a Type 20 Daxin rifle, 35 points for a submachine gun, 20 points for a general-purpose machine gun, 75 points for a light machine gun, 2000 points for a 8-caliber field gun, points for a cannonball, and points for a shell."

"A total of 3 points are required. Do you want to redeem?"

Fang Jian said without hesitation: "Exchange."

"Ding, the exchange is successful, the transport team will arrive in one day."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Jian asked again: "Can I exchange it for factory equipment?"

"can."

Francis Xan said: "Exchange for a batch of tobacco, textile, clothing, flour, and canning factory equipment."

"To redeem the previous equipment, a total of 4 points are required. Do you want to redeem it?"

Fang Jian was not surprised to hear the number of 40 points. He even felt it was relatively low. It was equivalent to only investing silver dollars in the initial stage to open these factories.

Of course, this is only the initial investment, and expanding the scale in the later stage will require considerable investment.

Fang Jian said, "Exchange."

"Ding, the exchange is successful. The equipment will be delivered in one day."

He originally wanted to implement the new policy, but after thinking for a moment, Fang Jian thought that he should wait until tomorrow, after trading weapons and points, and then summon talents from the system to make arrangements.

After the army completely took over Xinyuan County, the changes to the county were very obvious. The police who used to bully the good and fear the evil disappeared, and the soldiers on duty and patrol were all armed with live ammunition.

These soldiers have strict military discipline, so naturally there is no bullying.

Merchants passing through the city gate no longer had to pay city fees, which surprised many businessmen.

A commoner asked: "What are these soldiers? They look very spirited and they don't bully us at will. Will we have a good life in the future?"

"Well, who knows? Let's wait and see." Most people did not trust the newly appeared soldiers very much.

A manager of a caravan entering the city said to the people around him: "The security in the city is good, and there is no tax for entering the city. I wonder how long this policy can be implemented."

"Let's deliver more goods while the city tax is not being collected." The attendant said with a smile.

The steward also said happily: "That's right, that's right."

After reading some of the official documents from Xinyuan County, Fang Jian was very dissatisfied with the mess of handling many matters. He asked someone to call Chen Guangwen and said, "Guangwen, let's not talk about the past."

"From now on, all county affairs must be handled carefully and attentively. You must approve these documents first and then send them to me."

"From now on, my focus will be on economic development and the military. I'll leave these matters to you."

"County magistrate, don't worry, I will do my job seriously." Cheng Guangwen said in surprise. He didn't expect the county magistrate to hand over some of his power to him, which made him very happy.

Fang Jianan said sternly, "Guangwen, I have handed over the power to you, but if there are any mistakes or if you abuse your power for personal gain, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I will definitely do my job conscientiously and conscientiously." Chen Guangwen was startled and quickly expressed his opinion.

Zhang family, Zhang Xumin sighed and told the housekeeper: "Tell the second young master to stay at home and go out less recently."

"Master, what happened?" the butler was shocked and asked.

Zhang Xumin said helplessly: "This new county magistrate is a restless person at first glance, and he has soldiers under his command. Let Cheng Rong behave himself and not be targeted by the county magistrate."

"Last night, the Meng family actually sent people to attack the militia station, causing heavy losses. Today, the county magistrate severely extorted money from them."

"Do you want to tell the eldest young master about this?" asked the butler.

Staring at the housekeeper, Zhang Xumin said, "What's the use of telling Cheng Guang? He is just a company commander."

Although he said this to the housekeeper, he was thinking in his heart whether his eldest son could help. Zhang Xumin's eldest son, Zhang Chengguang, served in Ma Jincen's army in Nanshan Province and was currently a company commander.

Although he is just a company commander, he is a regular soldier. He must be much stronger than those people in Xinyuan County.

At the Liu family, Liu Wenqian looked at Liu Yisheng and asked, "Dad, how is it? Did the new county magistrate do anything to you?"

"What can he do to me? He is the county magistrate, not a bandit." Liu Yishen shook his head, thinking that his son was still too young.

Liu Wenqian was a little disappointed. He thought that after taking office, the county magistrate would carry out drastic reforms and do some useful things. It turned out that he was just trying to win them over.

Although he came from a large family, Liu Wenqian was a progressive young man who was very dissatisfied with the current state of the country and hoped to make some changes.
